This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy drawn seamless tubes in straight lengths and coils for general purpose. The tube shall be produced by drawing an extruded tube made from hollow extrusion ingot (cast in hollow form or pierced) and extruded by the use of the die and mandrel method. The tubes shall conform to the chemical composition requirements specified. The determination of chemical composition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemical (test methods E 34), or spectrochemical (test methods E 607 and E 1251), methods. The tube shall conform to the tensile property requirements specified. The tension tests shall be made in accordance with test methods B 557M. Flattening test specimens shall be flattened sidewise under a gradually applied load so as to give a uniform radius of bend until the minimum outside diameter under load is not more than F times the wall thickness of the tube as specified. The specimen shall be forced axially with steady pressure over a hardened and polished tapered steel pin having a 74� included angle, to produce a flare having the permanent expanded outside diameter specified. When specified, heat treatment of applicable tempers shall be in accordance with practice B 918. The different methods for leak testing of tubes are presented.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy drawn seamless tubes in straight lengths and coils for general purpose and pressure applications in alloys (Note 2), tempers, and thicknesses shown in Table 2. Coiled tubes are generally available only as round tubes with a wall thickness not exceeding 2.00 mm and only in non heat-treatable alloys.

1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1/H35.1M. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9, for example, A91100 for aluminum 1100 in accordance with Practice E527.

Note 2—Throughout this specification use of the term alloy in the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.

1.3 This specification is the metric counterpart of Specification B210.

1.4 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measure are included in this standard.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

A Limits are in weight percent maximum unless shown as a range or otherwise stated.

B Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.

C For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

D In case of a discrepancy in the values listed in Table 1 with those listed in the International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys (known as the “Teal Sheets”), the composition limits registered with the Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal Sheets” shall be considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.

EOthers includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered non-conforming.

FOther elementsTotal shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.

G Vanadium 0.05 % max.

H The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.

I Alloy clad with Alloy 7072.

J Composition of cladding alloy as applied during the course of manufacture. The samples from finished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.

K A Zr +Ti limit of 0.25 percent maximum may be used with this alloy designation for extruded and forged products only, but only when the supplier or producer and the purchaser have mutually so agreed. Agreement may be indicated, for example, by reference to a standard, by letter, by order note, or other means which allow the Zr +Ti limit.

A See Annex A1.

B To determine conformance to this specification, each value for tensile strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 MPa and each value for elongation to the nearest 0.5 % both in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.

C Coiled tube is generally available with a maximum wall thickness of 2.00 mm and only in nonheat-treatable alloys.

D Yield strength to be determined only on straight tube.

E Elongation in 50 mm apply for tube tested in full-section, for sheet-type specimens, for tubes having a flat wall, and for similar curved specimens for tubes having a curved wall, up to a maximum wall thickness of 12.50 mm. Elongations in 5D where D and A are diameter and cross-sectional area of the specimens, respectively, apply to round test specimens machined from wall thicknesses over 6.30 mm.

F In this alloy tube other than round is produced only in the F (as drawn) and O tempers. Properties for F temper are not specified or guaranteed.

G Beginning with the 1982 issue the requirements for the H112 tempers were replaced by the H113 temper, applicable to other than round tube, which is fabricated by cold-forming annealed round tube and acquires some temper in this forming operation.

H Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the material producers.

I Applicable only to round tube. The maximum yield strength for other-than-round tube shall be negotiated.

J Material in this temper exhibits improved resistance to stress corrosion compared to that of the T6 temper. The stress corrosion resistance capability of individual lots is determined by testing the previously selected tension-test samples in accordance with the applicable electrical conductivity acceptance criteria of Table 6.
